EU Criminal Law for Defence Counsel

Objective

This seminar is part of an EU-wide project to train defence lawyers
on European criminal justice and judicial cooperation instruments in
the EU.

Key topics

The effects of European criminal law on the daily practice of defence lawyers in EU Member States

The application of mutual recognition instruments from a defence perspective

The European Arrest Warrant (EAW)

Freezing and confiscation orders

The future of EU instruments, particularly in matters of obtaining evidence

Speakers

The seminar will be conducted by distinguished defence lawyers with long-standing experience in cross-border cases.

Methodology

The programme will offer a mixture of training methods, varying
from lectures to interactive workshops. In order to ensure the practical
relevance of the training, the workshops will focus on national case
studies.

interested practitioners have the opportunity to inform themselves on
all relevant legal texts and papers and to benefit from the speakers’

an EU-wide criminal defence network.
